3 Cities join CLGP Module 2

The Department of Health (DOH), in partnership with the Zuelleg Family Foundation, Inc., and DAP-SHDP, as academic partner, implemented the second module of the City Leadership and Governance Program (CLGP). The 3-day course aimed to develop the bridging leadership competencies of the participants on such areas as systems thinking, engaging the stakeholders, etc. The participants, who came from the different departments of the Cities of Antipolo, Calbayog and Manila, also drafted their respective action plans on how to address the priority health problems, health issues, and social determinants of health that they have identified based on local data. After a couple of months, they will present their results during the module 3 run of the CLGP.

The Sustainable Human Development Program (SHDP) is responsible in designing and implementing programs and projects in environmental management, climate change adaptation, energy and health policy, and other areas of sustainable human development. It was established in 2004 in line with the DAP’s thrust of reducing poverty by broadening the Filipinos' choices and improving their level of being, without impairing the ability of future Filipino generations to broaden their own choices and improve their own level of being.
SHDP has an Environment and Sustainable Development (ESD) unit, which the DAP organized in 1993 to serve as a resource center on environmental management for the DAP program offices, as well as to selected clients in the government, particularly the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The ESD unit continues the environment-related projects that DAP initiated in the 70s and 80s, such as integrated area development, human settlements, etc. SHDP also has a Human Development (HD) unit, which provides training and other forms of interventions that promote social development, such as health systems improvement, poverty-reduction, and evaluation studies. The HD unit started as the project management office of the Agrarian Reform Infrastructure (ARISP) II – Institutional Development Component that the DAP implemented for the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).
